IN ORDER TO PROVIDE CONSUMERS WITH A BETTER LEVEL OF INFORMATION, MANDATORY INDICATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 119 OF REGULATION (EU) NO 1308/2013 SHOULD INCLUDE A NUTRITION DECLARATION AND A LIST OF INGREDIENTS. HOWEVER, PRODUCERS SHOULD HAVE THE OPTION OF LIMITING THE CONTENT OF THE NUTRITION DECLARATION ON THE PACKAGING OR ON A LABEL ATTACHED TO IT TO THE ENERGY VALUE ALONE, AND OF MAKING THE FULL NUTRITION DECLARATION AND LIST OF INGREDIENTS AVAILABLE ELECTRONICALLY, PROVIDED THAT THEY AVOID THE COLLECTION OR TRACING OF USER DATA AND DO NOT PROVIDE INFORMATION FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. THE POSSIBILITY OF NOT PROVIDING A FULL NUTRITIONAL DECLARATION ON THE PACKAGING OR ON A LABEL ATTACHED TO IT SHOULD, HOWEVER, NOT AFFECT THE CURRENT OBLIGATION TO LIST SUBSTANCES CAUSING ALLERGIES OR INTOLERANCES ON THE LABEL. IN ARTICLE 122 OF REGULATION (EU) NO 1308/2013, POWER SHOULD BE DELEGATED TO THE COMMISSION TO ADOPT ACTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 290 OF THE TREATY ON THE FUNCTIONING OF THE EUROPEAN UNION IN ORDER TO SUPPLEMENT REGULATION (EU) NO 1308/2013 BY LAYING DOWN RULES ON THE INDICATION AND DESIGNATION OF INGREDIENTS.

Attention – the nutritional QR Code is in no way a marketing tool.
However, we propose to save for each product a link to the pages of your site presenting the qualities of your vintages.
QRnutri.com offers you in addition to nutritional data to record information relating to the recyclability of your packaging.
Prooftag offers you via its Prooftag Cerv system to generate serialized nutritional QR Codes that can be used by its traceability software.
We can thus provide you with a unit follow-up of bottles, cases, pallets on the market to identify sources of parallel markets.
